Spectators: 7255 (Terracing: 5446, Seating: 1669, VIP seats: 140) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Richard Botelho kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, Piedade's Fabrício Rodrigues got a free kick in the 3rd minute. Orlando Antunes was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 4th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Cafu Bertassi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Carlos Eduardo Marques having to interfere. If Richard Botelho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When Duarte Silveira fell near the penalty area in the 38th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.
